- pressing of the rubber-metal hinge into the suspension arm bushing is carried out on a press using a tubular mandrel with an outer diameter of 64 and an inner diameter of 20 mm;
- the shock absorber is installed so that point "4" (see figure 99) on the lower cup was facing the wheel;
- the nuts securing the lower shock absorber lugs and the mounting levers to the body brackets are tightened to torques of 7.6–9.8 and 6.8–8.4 kgf·m, respectively, with a static vehicle load of 320 kg (4 people on seats and 40 kg of cargo in the trunk);
- the nuts for fastening the suspension arm brackets are tightened to a torque of 3.2–4.1 kgf·m;
- when replacing the rear wheel hub bearings, make sure that the mandrel, when pressing the new bearing into the hub, presses only on the outer bearing ring. After pressing, install the retaining ring and press the hub axle. In this case, the mandrel should press on the inner bearing ring. After replacing the bearing, install a new or used, but on another car, axle nut and tighten it to a torque of 19-23 kgf·m, simultaneously turning the hub in both directions;
- a spring of the same class as that installed on the front suspension is installed on the rear suspension. In exceptional cases, when class A springs are installed on the front suspension, and there is no spring of this class for the rear suspension, it is allowed to install class B springs on the rear suspension. However, it is not allowed to install class A springs on the rear suspension if class B springs are installed on the front suspension. Class A springs are marked with yellow paint on the outer side of the middle coils, class B - green.
After installing the suspension, bleed the brake system.
